From the best-selling manga author of InuYasha, Ranma 1/2 features a martial artist with a curse: When he gets doused with cold water, he turns into a voluptuous girl. His friends--and enemies--turn into various cute animals due to a curse similar to Ranmas. Ranma 1/2, which features action, adventure, and romantic comedy, is the longest-running manga in the United States. In this entry, Ranma in female form engages in a gymnastic duel with the duplicitous Kodachi, Kunous younger sister, who has fallen in love with the male Ranma. Like her brother, she refuses to see that the two Ranmas are the same person. Next up is an ice-skating duel. Skater Azusa, who collects cute things, wants to wrest P-chan away from Akane, who wont give him up. Worse still, Azusas male partner Sanzenin kisses female Ranma--which aggravates Ranma no end since its his first kiss. When the Ranma and Akane team up against Azusa and Sanzenin, the prize is P-chan
